of the Study:
The purpose of this gender analysis is to identify, understand, and describe

The purpose is to advance the knowledge and understanding of the contextspecific, project-level gender issues that would affect activity implementation,
project participation, and outcomes and inform the final design of the project to
effectively address context-specific gender issues and concerns within its limits
and scope.
Details of the
Study
The objectives of this analysis are:
 To understand and analyze gender roles and expectations in Khulna and
Satkhira Upazilas in relation to project objectives to inform project
implementation and to ensure activities proposed in program design do
not perpetuate traditional power imbalances nor widen existing gender
gaps
 To identify root causes of existing gender inequalities so that they can
be addressed in the project implementation to enhance the likelihood
of strong and sustainable project implementation
 To identify through community consultation possible approaches and
strategies that will address gender issues as well as mitigate possible
effects of project activities perpetuating inequalities

Section III. Terms of Reference (TOR)
I.
Analysis Purpose
Terms of Reference (TOR)
For
Gender Analysis
The purpose of this gender analysis is to identify, understand, and describe gender differences
and the possible implications and effect of gender roles and power dynamics in implementing a
new project Nobo Jatra in Bangladesh. The goal of the project-level gender analysis is to provide
a deeper understanding of current gender issues at the community and household levels in
activity target areas, as well as the gender context in which the activity is operating within. The
purpose is to advance the knowledge and understanding of the context-specific, project-level
gender issues that would affect activity implementation, project participation, and outcomes and
inform the final design of the project to effectively address context-specific gender issues and
concerns within its limits and scope.
The goal of the program is to improve gender equitable food security, nutrition and resilience of
vulnerable people in Bangladesh. To achieve this, , interventions are organized around three
important themes: maternal and child health and nutrition; agriculture and economic
development; and resilience, as well as the cross-cutting purpose of governance and social
accountability, with youth development and gender integrated throughout all activities.
II.
Analysis Objectives
The objectives of this analysis are:
1. To understand and analyze gender roles and expectations in Khulna and Satkhira
Upazilas in relation to project objectives to inform project implementation and to
ensure activities proposed in program design do not perpetuate traditional power
imbalances nor widen existing gender gaps
2. To identify root causes of existing gender inequalities so that they can be addressed in
the project implementation to enhance the likelihood of strong and sustainable project
implementation
3. To identify through community consultation possible approaches and strategies that will
address gender issues as well as mitigate possible effects of project activities
perpetuating inequalities
III.
Analysis Framework
World Vision has adopted the Six Domains of Gender Analysis Framework for collecting and
organizing information pertaining to gender differences.1 The Consultant is expected to review,
adapt, and where necessary, develop questions under each of the conceptual areas listed below
to the requirements of the Nobo Jatra project:
1. Access: a person’s ability to use the necessary resources to be able to be a fully active
and productive participant (socially, economically, and politically) in society, including
access to resources, income, services, employment, information, and benefits.
2. Knowledge, Beliefs & Perception: the types of knowledge that men and women
possess; the beliefs that shape gender identities and behavior, and the different
perceptions that guide people’s understanding of their lives, depending upon their
gender identity.
1
Please see Sample Questions for the Six Domains of Gender Analysis Framework in Annex 1
12
3. Practices and Participation: people’s behaviors and actions in life – what they
actually do – and how this varies by gender roles and responsibilities. This includes
discussion on current patterns of action, and the ways in which men and women may
engage differently in development activities.
4. Time and Space: recognizing gender differences in the availability and allocation of
time and the locations in which time is spent. This domain considers the division of both
productive and reproductive labor; the identification of how time is spent during the day
(week, month or year, and in different seasons); and determines how men and women
each contribute to the welfare of the family, community, and society. The objective of
this domain is to determine how men and women spend their time and what
implications their time commitments have on their availability for program activities.
5. Legal Rights and Status: assessing how people are regarded and treated by
customary legal codes, formal legal codes, and judicial systems. This includes legal
documentation such as identification cards, voter registration and property titles.
Additionally, the domain includes the right to inheritance, employment, atonement of
wrongs, and legal representation.
6. Power and Decision Making: the ability of people to decide, influence, control, and
enforce personal and governmental power. This refers to one’s capacity to make
decisions freely, and to exercise power over one’s body, within an individual’s
household, community, municipality, and state. This domain also details the capacity of
adults to make household and individual economic decisions including the use of
household and individual economic resources, income, and their choice of employment.
Additionally, this domain describes the decision to vote, run for office, enter into legal
contracts, etc.
Special consideration in the data collection process should be given individuals’ age, socioeconomic status, disability, ethnic background, religious affiliation, etc. These factors could
intensify vulnerabilities and potentially prevent individuals from participating in project activities
and/or experiencing the same outcomes as other men, women, boys, and girls.
IV.
